New Campaigners Programme for people with visible differences

Our Campaigners Programme will give people with a visible difference a platform to use their voices and seek change at the highest levels.

Our Campaigners will be a group of 15 people of all ages, with a visible difference from across England and Wales. They will help to lead the direction of our national campaigns, research and other activities, giving a crucial perspective on what it’s really like to live with a visible difference.

They will also act as public-facing ambassadors for our charity in the media and at events.
